Thanks, Tom, for that report. I want to echo your appreciation of fellow birders who post updates, and make additional point that it is really helpful to post sightings on this lists web, which is the major common vehicle for information for birders over a wide area. Posting on ebird is good, but many people aren't able to check for sightings over the many areas that we collectively patrol.
Nysbirds does us all great service. Let's use it!
